Module code: MI6274
Credits: 25
Semester: Year-Long
Department: BUSINESS

Overview Overview
 

The Business Consulting Project has dual interconnected processes and objectives. For students, this is an opportunity to research and apply a theme in greater depth and apply the concepts and skills learned from both your research and your 65 credits of taught modules to a real organisation in practice. For organisations that provide projects, it is an opportunity for them to have a problem or question thoroughly, rigorously and practically investigated and to receive feedback on the findings and conclusions.

Students will identify a consulting question, review the literature to identify knowledge and best practices that can be applied to this question, develop a research methodology, analyse findings, and make recommendations. Typically, students work in pairs with a host organization although assessment is on an individual basis.

To meet these objectives students will write a Business Consulting Project report that explores the business practice and academic problem that is embedded in the research question. They will work with a faculty mentor to guide them on the problem solving journey. A key aspect of this learning process is working with the organisation that has provided the project. This will involve the student using their communication and business skills to negotiate with the client, guided by the School of Business. There are three key outputs of this Business Consulting Project: a written BCP report, a demonstrated client engagement process over the project, and a presentation and/or management report that provides the host organisation with a clear analysis and set of recommendations that can be implemented.

Typically, the host organisation is obtained by the School of Business for full-time students. Part-time students will normally work individually on projects associated with their own organisations. Part-time students can alternatively be assigned a project organisation by the School of Business.
